3 Training Aids Every Amateur Needs

Golf training aids often seem reserved for professionals, but top players like Hannah Gregg swear by simple tools to refine fundamental skills. Gregg, a 31-year-old tour pro who turned professional in 2021, has spent much of her career on developmental tours while competing on the Ladies European Tour.

This season, she’s played in 12 events, currently ranked 181st in the LET Order of Merit, and she emphasizes that even the best players rely on training aids to perfect basics like aim and setup. Among her top recommendations are alignment sticks, which cost less than $10 and help golfers check their aim, build consistency, and practice shot shapes by hitting around them during drills.

Another essential tool is a putting mirror, priced around $100, which reveals eye placement relative to the ball—a critical detail for elite putters. Most pros use these mirrors to ingrain an optimal setup, ensuring their stroke starts on the intended line for better accuracy.
